Card for a birthday boy

My favorite cards to make are the ones for the boys and men of any age. So this weekend I sat down and created this card, using an old cut out image from Maja Design. I chose to keep with blue, white and silver colors, as well as a jeans and star theme. I find stars always work as an embellishment for the masculine designs.

I used several dies: star and sentiment tags from Gummiapan, small stars and photo frame from Lawn Fawn, a star frame from Dixi Craft and stitched star dies from Craft&You.

This card is for:
AAA Birthday Challenge - #86 For Boys
The Paper Players - #789 Masculine

INK #369 - Visual Prompt: Gnome

At Inkspirational the new challenge is a visual prompt and we want to see you take inspiration from the photo below.

I was inspired by the gnome. My gnome has a honeycomb pattern on his hat and has daisies in his hands. To that's what inspired my colors and choice of embellishments, using dies from Little Birdie and Gummiapan and a sentiment stamp from Aall&Create.
Check out the challenge blog to see what what my INK-teamies have made too!
